I have a ton of different Nintendo consoles and lots of gameboy color cartridges for that reason. Good thing I collected them like 8 years ago because they are stupid expensive now

You sound odd, like a child or someone not fluent if you don't use our misuse the genders of words.

That being said, as native Spanish that lived in the UK for a while, I noticed that genders and verb forms are useful for providing more context when talking.

Cannot think of specific examples now, but in general in a phrase if you don't hear a word or don't know the meaning, it is easier to guess it because the rest of the phrase is constructed around the gender and more complex verbal forms.

Aside from the accurate list you posted, I felt similarities as well with hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

I did read the first one and liked it a lot, I wanted to continue the series but other stuff gets in the way and recently I've been more into gaming than reading 😭

Sleeping with some light (the blinds not shut completely) was a cause for me, along with stress. No light, not able to see anything waking up, no eldritch horrors in the room and I probably fall asleep again.

where I live there are shops for laptop, console and phone repairs. I'd keep it simple and go to one of those

you're right of course, and for me the first panel the sentence sounds correct, but not the last one, where she's already refering to her cat which is a cat like "gato" only. Maybe not the same asking if you have any car, any boyfriend or any cat as opposed to saying that now you have a cat, which should go with the "a" before. Unless the cat is called "Cat" 😅

I'm not a linguistic and cannot argue the why properly, but the sentence in last panel is definitely off

"un gato", it's missing the word "a" in "a cat", which makes it sound wrong and funnier in spanish than if it'd be written well

I'm not sure if it's your style, but search for Extremoduro or Estopa. I'll link something later if I remember

I would have translated better without the "a" to make it wrong and same level of absurd.

  • Do you have cat?
  • No
  • Now you do
  • And that's how I got cat

tell me you're not learning with Shakira songs.. native speakers can barely understand her 😅😁

slang but not new slang as it's widely used and it's even in the RAE dictionary (31 point).

Seemingly used in central america, Argentina, Bolivia, México, Uruguay, Venezuela and Dominican Republic.

Picture when I first got it. Previous owner did some wiring work but it looked big and a bit odd to my liking.

Big cut to get it into smaller size (and I got lots of cuttings out of it).

Wiring and defoliating to give some movement to the branches. When defoliating a ficus it's better done with scissors so the new grown points are left undamaged.

After one month and seeing the first leaves growth, I repotted to akadama and kiryu 70/30 in the same pot. I rotated a bit the plant when doing so. Ficus are very resilient so it actually started growing better with better soil.

This is 2months after picture, I'm quite happy in how it looks already 😊

I won't work on this ficus more for the time being, just leave it grow strong and develop good radial roots and finer branching.

I'll write another progress post in the future about the "brother" ficus of this one which looked more like a stick and will take more time to look bonsai-y 🤭
